ABCD Forex Strategy The AB=CD Secret Pattern Have you ever wondered why the market has the miraculous ability to move in the opposite direction of your trade? You know how it goes. You go long and the market drops. You go short and the market goes up.

The same applies to a short position in reverse. Does this sound familiar to you?
